阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Maria and Peter lived in a coastal city. The greatest pleasure for them in summer was swimming
at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in
the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse still, as
they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when
they walked to the shore.
They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming
consumed by waste. One weekend, Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and were
determined to clean up the waste. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down
and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day’s hard work, there were still
many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms,
Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.
That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother
asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened ” Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria
replied in a low voice, “It’s those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean them up, but it was just
impossible.” Understanding the pair’s disappointment, their father patted them on the back and
comforted, “Well, it’s really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.” “Just two of us,”
complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other. Suddenly, an idea flashed through their minds,
their eyes shining with excitement. “Yes, that’s the point! We should make more people aware of the
problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus.
注意：续写词数应为 150 个左右。
Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning.
